Fulham FC’s Charity Match to be Held on Saturday
The Fulham vs Preston North End fixture on Saturday 4th March is this season’s official Charity Match for Fulham FC, benefitting the Foundation’s adult health programmes.
Amongst these are Fulham Legends Walking Football, fanActiv, and Fulham Memories: the dementia support programme championed by George Cohen, an English former professional footballer who played for Fulham FC, and backed by both FFC Chairman, Mr. Khan, and Fulham FC supporters.
We all need a little help as we age. From inactivity to social isolation, the burdens of growing older are best addressed with support from family and friends. The Official Charity Match is an opportunity for FFC fans to show their support for the matriarchs and patriarchs of the Fulham Family.
There will be several ways to donate to the cause, with details released nearer the time. All of the proceeds will benefit:
Fulham Legends Walking Football – The same great game, but walking. For those aged 50+ who want to stay involved in football and connect with fellow fans. The team enjoy local fixtures, tournaments, and weekly training sessions at Fulham FC’s Motspur Park Training Ground.
Fulham Memories – Made possible through the generous donations of Fulham FC fans and Chairman Shahid Khan, during the Cohen66 campaign. Fulham Memories uses sport as a reminiscence tool for those living with dementia. Since its launch in December 2016, the Foundation has engaged some of the White’s most long-standing fans, including those with dementia, their carers, and the wider community. Increasing connections and enjoying fond memories of Fulham’s past, the Fulham Memories sessions take place each week at Craven Cottage.
fanActiv – Converting existing rivalries between football fans to get men moving more. The programme challenges fans to ‘walk, run, cycle, move their way to the top of the league table’. Backed by Fitbit UK, phase 2 of fanActiv is now underway across 9 clubs in London.
